Review: GREASE at Rondo
by Annette Stolt - Sep 25, 2026


Modern updated version which will be appreciates by both old and new Grease-fans. Few people have likely missed the 1978 film starring Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta as Sandy and Danny. It is packed with songs that most people can sing along to, and it is a great choice to keep the songs in English while performing the dialogue in Swedish for this modernized version. Klas Wiljergård’s translation is both fresh and fun.
